22: The Real Demon Patriarch II

"Good Job!"

Neon expressed as he ran up to Ares who stood there with the Phoenix wings sword is his hands.

"And look! You even got your sword!"

Ares let out a soft Smile as he looked at the sword" I guess so..."

He let out another soft pant. And looking at him, Neon could tell that he h6a exhausted his energy from the fight.

"You don't look too good" Neon observed.

"I'll be fine" Ares said as he turned to the sea " As long as I get the core" He panted softy again.

"Woah!"

Just then, Iris had made her way out of her hiding place. She was indeed marvelled on seeing the compelling fight scene!

"I have to be lucky to see an Immortal fight! It's so magical and fictional! I've only heard about immortals and their aesthetic fights in the story books! But I've never seen them in real life!"

"Whatever then" Ares still had his eyes the sea "I'll go find it .."

Ares left them and approached the sea..He was just standing before it as he slowly bent down before it.

With his red eyes closed, Ares dug his fingers into the sea with a calm expression.

Ares had began feeling the energy surging through the sea. He was quiet as he bent there feeling through the sea with his fingers.

"What's he doing now?" Iris asked

"He's looking for the beast core.. If he gets it , then he can peacefully take away what's in you" Neon explained

"Oh..."

They both looked towards Ares' direction. Unexpectedly, he had jumped into sea.

Splash!

They were stunned at the water splash as Ares fell into the water.

"What...." Iris was more confused.

It only took few seconds before Ares jumped out of the water again.

This time he was followed by a strong blue light energy which slowly turned into a red and black energy once he had settled on the air.

They watched as Ares had both eyes closed while standing in the air, with the black and red energy roaming around him.

Before him was a Little blue ball which was the beast's core.

He had slowly stretched out his hands towards the beast's core. And immediately the black energy from his hands had engulfed the core, struggling to take control of it.

The core was struggling to fly off but Ares used the red energy and held it strongly. The next Minute he had opened his eyes.

His eyes were fully black.

Iris had then found herself suddenly floating off the ge ground.

"Huh? what's wrong With me...?" She looked around confused.

"He's about to get it done with.. He'll naturally take it out" Neon explained which gave Iris a slight sense of relaxation.

But she wasn't fully at ease. She was being used for sorcery so how on earth was she supposed to be at ease?!

The next second, Iris found herself floating before Ares as well. She was opposite him with the core in-between them.

Ares had twisted his fingers towards the core as the black and red energy flew towards Iris..It had penetrated into her as he began searching for Ares' tool.

"Ah." Iris had felt an instant pain within. it was as a result of the operation being performed.

She felt her chest in slight pain, But she endured.

Ares was not bothered by the pain she was feeling..His black eyes were fixed on the core which he was operating it.

This had taken another Minute before the pain within Iris subsided, Then a black smoke had flew out of her mouth.

Slowly the black smoke approached the beast's core.. And when it hit the core, it slowly began taking the form of a flute.

It was a black flute with aesthetic and symbolic little designs inscribed onto it.. Then at the button of the flute was a purple rope designed onto it.

Now that Iris was useless, she had slowly flew off backwards as the landed on her back in pain.

The flute was now before Ares, floating with energy surging all around it.. Immense energy that gave off nothing but demonic vibes.

And then slowly Ares stretched out his hands and grabbed the flute.

Immediately as he grabbed it, a great deal of energy sparked around the place

A black, red and purple energy had dispersed throughout the area and even outside the illusional area.

It had Obviously filled the exterior world will it's dark aura..Dark and obvious enough for the skilled to observe what this energy was.

A dark and demonically powerful energy!

And if they were smart enough then, they'd obviously know whom this energy belonged to as well!

As soon as He grabbed the flute, His hair which he had carefully packed backwards had scattered.

It was left loose and long. Some part of his hair was sticking off before his face. Making him look like the mad Psycho he was.

And not to mention his outfit which had also transformed into something messy. A black ragged cloth with purple belt. He was on his bare foot.

Iris had slowly gotten to her feet as she looked at Ares "Oh dear..is that..him?"

She couldn't believe the magnificently demonic god-like figure standing there with the black, red and purple energy surging around.

"Yes, that's the real him..."

****

The Old man had instantly appeared at the illusional land, He was standing before the sea.

Slowly he bent down and dug his fingers before the sea as he felt through the water energy "Oh no..."

He expressed as he looked to the ground by his side..He had seen a red smoke lingering on the floor.

"I'm too late.."
